Three E-Book Originals Now Available


Another Short Story Collection



CRIMES AND CONFUSIONS
Five Historical Short Stories

These five short stories feature a variety of times, places, and people, from medieval England to Bangor, Maine in 1888. Characters from the Face Down Mystery Series appear in some, and in others the detectives are drawn from the Diana Spaulding Mystery Quartet. Titles include "The Reiving of Bonville Keep," "The Kenduskeag Killer," "The Tell-Tale Twinkle," "Any Means Short of Murder," and "The Curse of the Figure-Flinger."

This is an original e-book publication. It is the length of a novella—a short book of perhaps 150 pages if it were published in traditional format.

The free sampler offered has the opening pages of each of the short stories, to give you an idea of what’s in store for you in the collection.



For Middle Grades and Young Adult Readers



SHALLA

This historical novel for young readers is an e-book original offered for the first time at AWritersWork.com. Set in Colonial Rhode Island in the mid-seventeenth century, Shalla is the fictionalized story of a real person, one of the children of Rhode Island founder Samuel Gorton, known as "the New England firebrand." Because of his religious and political beliefs, Samuel Gorton was kicked out of Plimoth Plantations, Providence, and Pawtuxet before founding his own colony in what is now Rhode Island. He called it Shawomet, although it is now known as Warwick. In 1643, soldiers from the Massachusetts Bay Colony attacked Shawomet and captured Samuel Gorton, taking him to Boston for trial. No one knows exactly where his wife and children were during the time he was in prison there. This is the story of what might have happened to them, told through the eyes of one of his daughters, a girl with the remarkable name of Mahershallahashbaz Gorton. I call her Shalla.



New Nonfiction



A WHO'S WHO OF TUDOR WOMEN

A Who's Who of Tudor Women contains 622 mini-biographies of women who lived during the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. It grew out of the author's earlier published work, Wives and Daughters: The Women of Sixteenth Century England (1984), which remained in print until 2009. This is an updated version of that book, completely revised and with many new entries. It is also the text-only e-book edition of an online version found at KateEmersonHistoricals.com. The text of this e-book matches what was at that URL as of late February 2010. Additional material will continue to be added to the online version as it becomes available.

Why buy an e-book when you can read it for free on line? Convenience. Here everything is gathered together in one place, easy to search with your "find" function. Online, the material is broken into a dozen different html files. If you want to print them, they take far more paper than this e-book will.

It isn't just her own future she holds in her hands.
